About Mara
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there ! Looking for a (pet free ) family assistant position, Ideally 35 hours/week Please be aware that my start rate is $35/hr and goes up depending on duties, time of day( overnights), and travel requests. I have received my certificate in strategic intervention (specializing in family planning), and can send my resume if needed. I have been a professional nanny for almost 10 years. I have worked in fully staffed homes, and more informal. I'm quite adaptable, friendly, and love kiddos. I'm looking to find a family that desires to treat their nannies like family. At this time, if driving is required for the job, I would prefer it if there was a family car. Thank you for taking the time to read!

We hired Mara to help with bathing, sleep scheduling and developing routine schedule of our 3 month old. She worked with us for about 1 month. Pros: Professional, knowledgeable, experienced, flexible with schedule excellent communication and did a great job with helping us develop our baby schedule. Usually punctual, can be up to 3-5 minutes late at times. Things that we felt challenging are that our baby never really developed an emotional bond with her, sometimes seemed to cry more. We did not want to force a very strict schedule on our baby as that can sometimes be traumatic to them. One of the parent needed to be around. So It didn't save us much time and the hourly rate was too high for us to continue. Mara strictly works per contract, did not get help with any other baby related household chores that wasn't in contract. Overall, we definitely trust her skills and knowledge but given high rates and baby not able to bond freely with her, would hire her for occasional care only.
